12 weeks!

A friend told me about this cool site that has questions and a journal as a way of keeping up with your pregnancy. Well I've decided to do it..but here on my blog. So I will update every so often (with a picture too, I hope!) as a way to share this experience with our friends and family that are far away =)

How far along are you? I'm in my 12th week!

Total weight gain/loss: well i got on the scale today and it said I had lost 10 lbs! which freaked me out..so i got on again and it was normal. at my appointment in Jan. I had lost a few lbs, but I've gained those back, so guess I'm the same technically. Which is very weird, because my belly is getting big! Baby #2 sure is showing a lot faster than #1 did!

Maternity clothes? yep! I broke down and bought a pair of Maternity jeans over the weekend. I figured I could get away with shorts and capris, but its still chilly out! My tummy is definitely starting to change! Tim was rubbing my belly last night and said "oh my god, your stomach is hard!!" Well duh!! lol

Stretch marks? no comment lol

Best moment this week: On Tuesday I actually had energy!! I'm hoping this is a sign that I'm getting over the "blah" phase of this pregnancy. I made tuna salad, cleaned the house, did laundry, cooked chicken tortilla soup for dinner..it was a good day!

Movement: Nothing yet!

Food cravings: Yes, nothing that I've kept craving but every now and then I'll just have a strange craving hit me. The other day it was salty pretzels, another time it was a diet coke. oh and pop tarts LOL

Gender: it's killing me not to know what it is! I'm hoping we will know around April 1st, and I will be telling everyone asap!

Labor Signs: nope!

Belly Button in or out? still a flat innie

What I miss: Energy, standing up without being dizzy, getting out as much as I used to.

What I am looking forward to: Having all my energy back..well..i'll settle for 80% of it ;) Also looking forward to knowing the sex!

Weekly Wisdom: Some times it's worth it to pay someone lol. I am lucky enough to have a wonderful husband who realizes that I just can't do it all right now! We've hired our housekeeper to come every other week..and its so wonderful!!

Milestones: belly is now starting to show.

Current Projects: I always have a project..or 4 going. =) Right now I'm planning Austin's Birthday party, and trying to finish our playroom. We bought paint and will be covering up the red wall with clouds! Can't wait till it all comes together.
